Port Neches-Groves wins first state title since 1975, spoils SOC's three-peat bid

ARLINGTON -- Port Neches-Groves senior kicker Gino Oceguera taking home Offensive MVP honors for his state championship-record four made field goal proved once and for all PNG could indeed field goal two-time title defender South Oak Cliff to death. PNG won the Class 5A DII State Championship 20-17, the program's first since 1975.

Oceguera's final make came with 5:48 remaining in the fourth quarter and cut SOC's lead to 17-12. PNG head coach Jeff Joseph stole a possession with a successful onside kick. Then, the Indians reached the red zone for the fifth time.
